Pantheon opens Singapore office

Brian Lim, who leads the firm’s investment activities across Asia and emerging markets, will lead the Singapore office. Previously based in Hong Kong, he has been with Pantheon for 14 years and is also a member of the firm’s international investment committee.

The Singapore office will serve as a hub for its activities in Southeast Asia and across the wider Asia-Pacific region. Clients in the region include four of the top 20 pension fund allocators globally as well as a growing range of private wealth advisors and investors. Pantheon manages or advises on approximately USD 20bn of assets either from Asian investors or invested in Asian assets on behalf of global clients.

The firm – which offers access to private equity, infrastructure and real assets, and private credit through a combination of primary funds, co-investment, and secondaries – positioned the Singapore expansion as a demonstration of its commitment to the private wealth channel. A Geneva office has also opened under the same rationale.

The firm’s private wealth platform comprises a range of evergreen fund solutions, with a combined USD 5.8bn in assets under management. Overall assets under management were USD 60.9bn as of March 2023 with a further USD 32.5bn in assets under advisory mandates.

“Our strategic focus is on building our presence in key growth markets and client channels, offering our investment acumen and commitment to service excellence to more investors, while growing our investment capacity and reach,” said Susan Long McAndrews, a partner and global head of business development at Pantheon, in a statement.

“We are pleased to bring our global expertise to local markets in Singapore and Geneva, where we have generated significant momentum and where we see substantial opportunities for further growth.”

Pantheon, which has more than 460 employees globally, including 130 investment professionals, is majority-owned by US-listed Affiliated Managers Group.
